NASA is inviting people to send their names to Sun

If you want your name to travel through the Sun’s atmosphere, braving brutal heat and radiation conditions, here comes your chance. Nasa is inviting people around the world to submit their names online to be placed on a microchip aboard its historic solar probe launching this summer.

“This probe will journey to a region humanity has never explored before,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, Associate Administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at Nasa Headquarters in Washington.
